SETTING UP AND OPERATING THE LMS-A6

This section describes the steps and checks to be taken when setting up the unit for the first time, and the operation of all the controls and indicators. Some of the custom operating parameters will have been set internally when unit left the factory. These are described in this section and you must check that these are appropriate for your system.

Internal factory set parameters

Check the supplied documentation to ensure these parameters are correct for the particular system you are setting up. Incorrect settings can damage the loudspeakers, especially the more delicate H.F. unit. If any internal settings are wrong for your system contact your Turbosound Dealer about obtaining the correct custom plug-in modules.

Crossover frequencies and slopes

There are two stereo frequency programming cards located internally. Card 1 handles band 1 information and card 2 band 2 & band 3 information. The crossover frequencies and slopes will have been specified when the unit was purchased. The limiter time constants and the band edge phase adjustment time constants will automatically have been optimised for the corner frequencies. The relevant frequency, slope and response type is recorded on a label attached to the respective cards and also on a label attached to the right hand side panel of your unit.

If in the future your unit is to be used to drive loudspeaker systems other than that for which it was originally configured, then replacement frequency programming cards can easily be fitted.

Band Gain

The gain of each band is normally set to unity, but for systems where the sensitivity of the Amplifier/Speaker combinations for each Band are different, the gain of each band may have been set to compensate. This allows the Level Trim controls to be nominally set to centre.

Equalisation

Either static or dynamic equalisation may have been installed on an optional internal module.

Mains Supply Voltage

The unit will have been set for either 115V AC or 230V AC operation as indicated by the label on the rear of the unit.
